The New York Times has a very nice interactive graphical representation of the impact of inflation on all of the small parts of our lives. The chart shows where the average American's goes and how inflation is impacting each of the areas differently. An example is that we hear how fuel and food prices are climbing but not much about how new cards are 1.1% less expensive than last year.
As a philanthropic organization the impact of inflation can be seen in the donations received but also the cost of doing business. We hear how food banks and shelters are stretched even more thin because of higher food costs. The non profit community has always been judicious in exercising stewardship in how they use their money, but even more so now.
